  • Digital non-SLR • Brain dead camera feature design (Canon, Panasonic, Olympus, etc.) April 19, 2024
    I own Canon, Panasonic, and Olympus cameras and they all have the same brain dead, annoying behavior in one respect. I bet you have noticed this too and you just shake your head in wonder that these camera companies all have the same ridiculous design feature. I am hoping there is some camera company that […]

    I'm here. Check it every day. Most of my older photo software doesn't use Heif. My iPad uses Heif so I changed it to Jpg. All my older photo software products don't recognize Heif files. Canon originally used Heif files. I'll stick with Jpeg. I have a A6500. The A6500 doesn't work with Nissin MF18 […]

Sigma updates flash for Alpha

Electronic Flash EF-530 DG SUPER

Advanced features and high performance for the latest digital SLR cameras and 35mm film SLR cameras

NEWS RELEASE from Sigma UK

EF 530 DG Super

  • Features a powerful guide number of 53.
  • Designed to work with the new TTL systems of all the popular manufacturers.
  • Covers a focal length from 24mm to 105mm.
  • Autozoom function automatically sets the optimum illumination angle.
  • A sophisticated multifunctional flash which can control advanced lighting techniques
  • Wireless-slave-flash functions

The Sigma Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of the new ELECTRONIC FLASH EF-530 DG SUPER.

EF-530 DG SUPER features a powerful Guide Number of 53 and is designed to work with the latest TTL auto exposure systems of all popular manufacturers’ digital and film SLR cameras. It features TTL automatic flash exposure control for easy operation.

Among the advanced features of this flash are modeling flash function, multi pulse flash, TTL wireless flash, FP (high speed) flash, rear-curtain Synchro flash and manual flash mode which allows the photographer to set the flash power level by up to eight stops. The Auto Power-Off function automatically shuts off the display to help save battery power. When the flashgun is fully charged, a confirmation ‘ready’ light will be emitted and the flash exposure level can be checked through the cameras viewfinder.

The autozoom function automatically sets the optimum illumination angle in accordance with the lens’ focal length in a range from 24mm to 105mm. When the built-in Wide Panel is used, the flash can cover the angle of 17mm.

For bounce flash, the flashgun head can be tilted up by 90 degrees, to the left by 180 degrees, or to the right by 90 degrees. It can also be tilted down by 7 degrees allowing ease of use for close-up photography.

Fittings: Sigma AF, Canon AF, Sony AF, Nikon AF and Pentax AF

SRP: £219.99
